Re: Does Deonte Thompson make the final roster?

This is a deep WR pool, and obviously it's really hard to make the final cut for this team, especially for undrafted rookies. I think he will show enough glimpses of potential in the pre season games to make the PS however. I heard Thompson has always been a great practice player, but beyond that, nothing special, with very shaky hands. We will carry 6 receivers on the team, and I expect Tommy Streeter to make it.

I've often heard it said that Streeter would be a target for other teams if the Ravens attempted to put him on the PS. If the Ravens think that's true, it's a point in Streeter's favor over Thompson for making the final 53. But I think it's far too early to say about the relative merits of these two. To make the team, Streeter doesn't necessarily have to separate himself from Thompson in pre-season. But on the other hand, Thompson could possibly get that spot if the reverse becomes true and he separates himself from Streeter, provided Deonte can contribute on ST. Neither guy is assured of anything. This could be interesting.

If they really don't want to lose one, one or both will have a mysterious injury and be put on IR after cut day.
